Ezra Learning vs Easy Peasy
Easy Peasy is Lee Giles's free online Christian curriculum for preschool to Grade 8, built from free materials on the internet; Ezra is a paid Grades 1–9 curriculum with its own narrated lessons and hands-on practice. Here is an honest look at free against paid, line by line. Facts checked October 14, 2026; sources at the end.
What each one is
Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool is a free online homeschool curriculum written by Lee Giles, who began posting her own children's assignments online in 2011. It covers preschool through Grade 8 (with a sister site for high school) in reading, writing, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, math, history and geography, science, Bible and many electives, 180 days per course. Each day's lesson is a set of directions and links: the child reads, watches, plays or works on outside websites and prints the worksheets marked with an asterisk, and the parent grades. The whole online curriculum is free and needs no registration; the site asks for a donation and sells printable workbooks and offline courses in its store.
Ezra Learning covers Grades 1–9 in Mathematics, English, Spelling, Bible and Geography, with about 6,900 hands-on practice skills and 1,220 narrated lessons, each with a printable sheet. Scripture (Berean Standard Bible) is read word for word in every strand of every subject; there are no cartoons, games or characters. The Family plan is $15 a month per household, up to six children, and the first two sections of every subject and grade are free.
Easy Peasy fits best when…
Choose Easy Peasy if the budget is zero, you want preschool, Grade 8 and (on its sister site) high school, you want Science, History and a long list of electives, you are happy to sit beside a younger child and lead the day's links yourself, and you are content to do the grading and record keeping on your own.
Ezra fits best when…
Choose Ezra if you want lessons and practice that live in one place, made for the program, with no links out to other websites, videos or games; if you want practice that grades itself and a report that shows the parent what the child has mastered; if you want a voice and a drawing rather than a page of directions; and if you want a Bible verse read aloud in every strand of every subject. It costs $15 USD a month for the household, and two sections of every subject and grade are free.

What it costs your family
Easy Peasy is free, so the question is not money but what each one gives a child.
Ezra: $15 × 12 at the introductory price (normally $19 a month). Easy Peasy is free. Easy Peasy asks for a donation and sells printable workbooks and offline courses in its store; the online curriculum itself is free and needs no registration.
How a lesson is taught
An Easy Peasy day is a numbered lesson on the site (or in My EP Assignments, which tracks which day the child is on). The child reads the directions, clicks the links — a reading passage on one site, a video on another, a practice game on a third — does what each asks, and prints the worksheet when the lesson marks one with an asterisk. Lee Giles writes that she has children "do things online instead of on paper" as much as possible, and that the curriculum "links to lots of outside links", so the site recommends an ad blocker and YouTube's Restricted Mode. The parent grades the work; the lower levels have no built-in grades or tests, and Easy Peasy keeps no records, report cards or transcripts.
An Ezra lesson is a short narrated slideshow: one voice reads every word while a simple line drawing builds up on the slide — no cartoons, no characters, no questions asked of the child inside the lesson. The lesson ends with a Bible verse read aloud, and every lesson has a printable sheet for the child to do on paper. Then the child goes to the practice skills of that strand, which are hands-on: drag the pieces, tap the picture, build the number, sort the words, drop a pin on the map.
Where the Bible sits
Both programs are Christian. Easy Peasy calls itself "a complete, free online Christian homeschool curriculum for your family and mine" and has Bible courses (Old Testament, New Testament, Scripture memory). Lee Giles writes that she does "not teach any denominational teachings", that she believes "in a literal six-day creation", and that she chooses "to use materials that talk about millions of years because it is what's available". The Bible translation used is not stated on the site. In Ezra, Scripture is not a subject on the side. Every strand of Mathematics, English, Spelling and Geography closes with a verse from the Berean Standard Bible, read aloud word for word, and a Scripture practice skill sits at the end of every strand. Bible is also a subject of its own in every grade, with a character strand (obey right away, tell the truth, no quarrelling) in each. The verses are never paraphrased.
What Easy Peasy has that Ezra does not
A price of nothing. Preschool and kindergarten, Grade 8, and high school on a sister site. Science and History as full subjects, plus Spanish, biblical Hebrew, computer, music, art, PE and health, logic and more. 180 planned days per course, so a parent never has to decide what comes next. Fourteen years of use by many families, with an active support community. Printed workbooks and offline courses for families who want to work off the screen.
What Ezra has that Easy Peasy does not
Lessons and practice made for the program and kept in one place: no links out to other websites, videos or games, nothing to block, no outside ads. A Bible verse in every strand of every subject, read aloud word for word from the Berean Standard Bible. One calm narrated voice with a simple drawing on every slide, so a child who cannot yet read well can still follow. Practice the child does with his hands — dragging, sorting, building, dropping a pin on a map — generated endlessly and graded on the spot, with a parent report that shows mastery, minutes and where he needs a hand. A printable sheet for every lesson and a library of 147 books and packs. No cartoons, games, characters or rewards shops. It costs money — $15 USD a month for the household — and two free sections of every subject and grade let a family see all of it first.
Questions families ask
Is Easy Peasy really free?
Yes. Easy Peasy says its online courses "are free and available to use without registration". It asks for a donation, and it sells printable workbooks and offline courses in its store, but a family can use the whole online curriculum without paying. Ezra is $15 USD a month for the household at the introductory price, with two sections of every subject and grade free.
Why pay for Ezra when Easy Peasy is free?
Because they are built differently. Easy Peasy is a plan of links to free materials on other websites, graded by the parent. Ezra's lessons and practice are made for the program, stay inside it, grade themselves and report to the parent, and every strand reads a Bible verse aloud. A family that wants the parent to lead each day and does not mind outside websites may not need to pay.
Does Ezra Learning cover high school?
No. Ezra covers Grades 1–9. Easy Peasy covers preschool to Grade 8 on allinonehomeschool.com and high school on its sister site, All-in-One High School.
Does Ezra have Science or History?
No, on purpose. Ezra teaches Mathematics, English, Spelling, Bible and Geography. Easy Peasy has Science and History for every level, and a long list of electives.
Is Easy Peasy Christian?
Yes. It calls itself a free online Christian homeschool curriculum and has Bible courses. Lee Giles writes that she holds to a literal six-day creation but uses some science materials that speak of millions of years because that is what is available free. Ezra is also Christian, with no science subject, and reads a verse from the Berean Standard Bible in every strand of every subject.
Will my child see games, videos or ads on Easy Peasy?
Easy Peasy's lessons link to outside websites for reading, videos and practice games, and the site itself recommends an ad blocker and YouTube's Restricted Mode. Ezra has no links out, no games, no characters and no ads; every lesson and practice skill is made for the program.
